There's no difference. There is a Preorder (With a special item), and retail version. Gamer's is saying they stock the Retail (No in-game item gift).

Gamers, do you think its possible to let us get the cd key first? You can e-mail us or we pick up the cd key at your store, of course we will need to pay for it first. We can pick the package later when it arrive. If can't, nevermind tongue.gif

Well haven't played long, except for the beta, but the last 2 days has been enlightining. Quest have been straightforward and now level 4ranger/monk with a level 5 pet which I obtained today.

The UI has definately improved for the better and nice to see pet exchangable although I like my cat for now. Unlike MXO this game was lag free and enjoyable, quest are solable so far and doesn't consume much time.

My only worry is that the leveling is fast, for now but that could change once I get higher. I sincerly hope not as there are only 16 levels left and I almost halfway through level 4.

Found minor bugs but nothing major like going thru walls just outside Abbey and in the Catacombs but nothing major.

Hopefully if we have enough Low Yat members playing we could group up and do PvP but I will prolly hold that off till I get higher and acquire more skills. Teamspeak is essential for PVP as the game moves fast as I found out in beta, and was lucky enough to do it with friends in EQ2. Most of the top guilds are using it to climb the ladder and hopefully maybe we can have a Malaysian team kicking some mat salleh butts tongue.gif

Overall the game is good and not like MXO and SWG where the game was never ready when launched.

Another feathercap to NC Soft as the CoH launch was smooth and so is Guild Wars.

I still think if you want depth and a power gamer this game won't hold your interest long unless they give frequent fresh new contents. Like I said first impressions post beta and hopefully this game can keep going for a while cause its good so far.

Im playing the game now thru early access, i must say though, im VERY impressed by this game, the in game content and story line rivals that of WoW as well.

The only major gripe i have in this game is that we tend to get stuck ALOT especially when you are not in the open field, you get stuck in trees, bushes, walls, buildings.

And another thing which i truly miss is jumping off cliffs and taking the short cuts through, one feature which did not have sad.gif

From what Ive read up so far on GW and the forums response on the game, it sounds great - maybe as good as WOW. I would love to try out GW but i think i have to concentrate on WOW...for now..tongue.gif

The real puller to the game is no monthly fees and they make their money when new contents come out, and if you are one of the elite guilds I suspect they will buy the updated content.

I have notice though but it happened in Wish, and in this game lots of rude people in the beta game, unlike the community in EQ, DAoC, CoH, SWG to name a few. Not saying older people are more sensible (sometimes they behave worst then kids) but the level or concentration of players seem to be younger then usual. Again intial thoughts I could be wrong just my experince in beta and the last 2 days

www.interactcd.com will give your key via email once they confirm the payment. They accept credit cards and paypal but I used paypal never tried the credit card as some places require you to fax your credit card which I am not too fond off.

We'll only receive the CD key along with the retail box. Don't think we want to ask our supplier to open them up first. tongue.gif

What I like most is:

1. Character - I make my character exactly how I want. For xample a Protection Monk/Fire Mage , or Warrior/Mage, etc.

Thus, being paladin me I can be:

Tactics Warrior/Healing Monk (Template paladin) or Strength Warrior/Air Mage (Archangel) biggrin.gif

2. Skill chaining.
In WoW, you have to wait for the server to return the information that the skill has already been cast, other wise you get "Another skill is being cast" or something like that. In GW, you can hit your next skill before the first one has been cast.

3. Teaming.
You can assign a target, and everyone can just press "T" and it will attack the target you have designated as the group target. Plus, no more pulling! It's all mass battles baby!

4. Intercontinental Guild Wars
America vs Europe Vs. Korea. Guilds that win for their home country (Cant remember how many times) will invoke the favour of the Gods.

It states that the early acess will end 12a.m. PST on the 29th if I am not mistaken. From then on you going to have to log in your retail key. I was lucky enough that the place I ordered online gave me the key knowing it will take a while to arrive (ordered the collector's edition)

Its 27-28, Malaysian Time Wednesday 3pm until Thursday 3pm. That's why you have a "Guild was is now Live" news on the official website.
